well... There are several games atm that are fairly promising with a decent video card. I only play online games btw, so i am not too sure about your particular interests... although i can help you decide what NOT to get
......
I would pretty much say use BF 1942 and unreal tournament 2004 (not out yet.. soon tho) for online fun. These are fairly fast matches without any character development.
If your into a more fantasy/role playing/in depth game with character development and rewards, then I could only reccomend waiting for World of Warcraft to come out near the end of this eyar sometime. The massive multiplayer online roleplaying game (mmorpg) industry has about 3 worthless titles coming out this year and 2 very heated contestants -world of warcraft and EverQuest2. Personally, I would reccomend against everquest 2 due to their tendancy to weave in very deep mind control and enslavement tools into the whole thing. World of warcraft however, I reccomend will be a Fairly Decent game minus the EverQuest Fanbois who will be hired to go there and ruin the atmosphere with 'd00d', '1337', 'leik, teh,' etc etc. types of behavior.
